Define misfire? Is it idling ok? What kind of revs does it misfire at or is it at any point?

If it sounds like a Scooby it's probably not running on all cylinders. Had the compression checked?

Did you check to see if loom is plugged down. Cos when I got my engine the numpty didn't have anyclips in the loom. It baffled me for ages then turned out to be that. :s worth a push
